Cheers barry, I am actually working on it today. It was harder to make the machine bigger than i originally thaught i will admit. I have just cut my first simple piece with it about 30 minutes ago. I'm still perfecting the axis set up as it is about 4mm out at the moment, it was about 2 cm out over 20cm movement but by changing the "steps per" in motor tining i have this almost perfect.
The screws and nuts seem to be great. The main problem i have had is attaching a rotozip to the machine. Because its an akward shape. And with limited tools to make a tidy bracket. But now the machine is running i can make a tidy bracket for it. The machine has been out of service for almost a week now but hopefully will be worth it. I'm debaiting weather to make a 8' X 4' monster so that the sheets of material will go in whole, so that there is less waste + more profit.
Cheers all.
Gaz.
